Short and sweet, this EP captures six songs worth of a live set The Smithereens played for a hometown New York crowd (complete with cries of "Let's Go Mets!"), recorded for an MTV broadcast. Anyone familiar with the band's studio recordings won't find anything terribly surprising in the live arrangements, but this disc certainly preserves the band in top form, with Pat DiNizio's vocals boasting a tougher edge than he displays in the studio and Jim Babjak's guitar gaining some additional on-stage crunch. Along with four of the band's hits, Live features "Beauty and Sadness" a year before their early EP of the same title was reissued, and a solid cover of The Who's "The Seeker." Live is the sort of release that's likely to be appreciated by the group's fans and ignored by anyone else, but it also offers tangible proof why The Smithereens were (and continue to be) a potent live attraction on the East Coast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
